Supply Chain Woes

[Champakian]

I got those supply chain blues*, those supply chain blues...

I do see empty shelves and racks.


At Wallymart there were socks, in my size, and style, on the peg.
Everything else was barren. I purchased everything else on the peg.

I didn't even need them.



It's getting close to Ayn Rand...




* Yellow stain blues for those of younger strain.

Welcome to the USS of R.

It's getting really ridiculous. Everyone and their grandmother are blaming this on the president, who admittedly could (and SHOULD) do a better job of solving the issue, but what can, or should, he do?

It is a complex issue and not all of it can be blamed on domestic production. It really is becoming like the old Communist countries, an economy of scarcity.

The ships are here at our ports, that IS NOT a foreign problem............it's his.

And there are all sorts of solutions, but those solutions would require he throw a shit pot full of 'woke' democrats under the bus. It's painfully obvious that HIS party and THEIR politics are far more important than the average citizen.

This is what happens every time some asshole politician tries to apply a political solution to real world problems.

You learn something new every today. Today, for instance, I learned that the Democrats are in power in the UK.

They say that the ships are at the ports, but I haven't actually seen them. Maybe I should wander over and have a look.


They have certainly bombarded us with temp helpers, and three outta four have actually worked. Of course, we had no one yesterday, but we didn't have anything much for them to do.


The box stores are still having trouble keeping the shelves stocked fully. But they won't take back this plywood that I'm getting ready to sell.


I did order some overpriced 22LR, but I'll have lots now.

 

[Champakian]

If you want to work comrade,

your papers must be in order.

 

[Champakian]

What is this line for?

I don't know, but they are selling something.
Maybe we can trade it...

Which is why WE need the ARMY on the streets NOW. posh areas dont have streets they have avenues and groves, we need the army on the STREETS NOW! Paul Dacre agrees with this.

 

[Champakian]

The White House says it's our fault.

We have too many expectations...

That's a load of horse crap.

 

[bellisarius]

I wonder if anyone has looked at the boatload of restrictions the cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach have enacted re. the ports to combat "global warming?"

The ones I looked at are based on a total reduction in emissions as opposed to a reduction indexed to freight volume with severe penalties for non-compliance. As a result they've created a shipping bottle-neck and most likely have increased emissions as well. Those 70+/- ships parked there are still chugging out the smoke.

 

[Champakian]

It's not the ports!

It's us. We're spending too much money!

 

[Champakian]

The unions won't work at night...

That's kinda funny. It they didn't want the money spent why did they give so much of it away?

 

[JohnnySavage]

I'm still waiting on my converter. Sunday will be two months.

 

[Champakian]

Indeed. It wasn't going to paying the rent...

Under the Heading of You Can't Make This Stuff Up...

"Los Angeles ports will fine cargo ships waiting to unload their goods in an attempt to relieve congestion that is as desperate as it is gobsmackingly stupid.

"It’s a fine so pointless and wrong that, of course, Presidentish Joe Biden has chimed in with his support for it."

[hobbit.]
